Yung Joc Sued By Production Company

Yung Joc is being sued by an Atlanta-based production company, which claims that the southern rapper signed a contract with them that gave them control over his recordings.

 According to Master Mind Music Inc.’s complaint, which was filed in United States District Court, Northern District of Georgia earlier this week, Joc signed an artist development and exclusive recording agreement with them in February 2005 that stated that all material he created during the duration of the contract would be the property of MMM. Under the agreement they were also entitled to copyright his songs under the production company’s name, obtain a 50% share of his publishing and co-ownership of all of his recordings.

Master Mind Music is asking for an undisclosed amount of money for the alleged copyright infringement, breach of contract, torturous interference with contractual relations, fraudulent misrepresentation and fraud.

Yung Joc has not responded publicly to the lawsuit yet.

Yung Joc Denies Connection to Studio Robbery and Fraud

Yung Joc, admidst allegations of insurance fraud, is denying any involvment in the robbery that took place in his  Atlanta recording studio.

Last weekend, Atlanta rapper Yung Joc’s studio  was raided, costing him $70,000 in equipment, he claims. During an interview with WSB TV, he said that he lost unreleased music with Lil Wayne, Pitbull and Jazmine Sullivan and is offering a $2,500 reward for the return of his hard drives.

But some believe the rapper is not telling the truth. They believe he staged the robbery to benefit from the insurance proceeds… I mean, honestly, when was the last time you went to a Yung Joc concert?

The rapper says rumors that he was involved in the robbery are false.

“I’ve been seeing stories where people say this is about insurance fraud.  The truth is, I did not have insurance.  I was in the process of deciding who I wanted an insurance policy with,” said Joc.

He said he’s now essentially starting from scratch.

“It’s a lot of work,” he said.

Atlanta police continue to investigate, but so far, no arrests have been made.
